It's Friday night, Sup Forums! Since you don't seem to have anything better to do right now, why not curl up with your computer, a hot meal, and a storytime to pass the time?
Tonight we're picking up the tail end of Volume 3, chapter 5 of Samus & Joey, a manga released in the mid-2000s about the adventures of Samus and a shonen-as-hell sidekick kid. This is noteworthy as being one of the better representations of Samus in media, with Samus being badass and stern yet encouraging, unflappable, and most importantly, not a sniveling coward. Also she punches things sometimes, and that's nifty.
If you're new to the comic, catch up with the previous threads, hopefully still archived: → → → → Also, a disclaimer: I am unable to bump my own threads, that's how Sup Forums works. So I'll be relying on you, the readers, to post and comment to keep the thread alive. So don't hold back! Reactions, small talk about the games, even shitposting. Seriously though, my last attempt died almost 12 posts in.
So sit back a spell, relax, and let's enjoy the madness together.
I encourage you to visit that last thread, it's important.

Kind of had some important plot details happen, but I'm too worried about being banned for spamming to repost them. They're all archived, though, don't worry.

Hopefully I can stick it out to the end of this chapter, so we can finish off volume 3.
Your contribution is appreciated all the same.
Though I disagree on both counts.

user this thread is going to drown if it doesn't get bumps. I don't care what you post at this point as long as it keeps the thread alive, because I can't do it myself.

And that's volume 3. Some art pages and credits to round it off.
Then we're full tilt into volume 4, Samus & Joey EXTREME, which takes place in the EXTREME galaxy.

pizza here too.

And of course, this was all thanks to the work of the people at the metroid database website. There's other manga up there if you need more, so be sure to check them out!
Lincoln Rivera
And now it's time for
EXTREME
METROID
This is volume 4, which I suspect they weren't sure they'd be able to make, as the others came out in 2003 and this was around 2004/2005, and it reeks of "renewed shounen manga". It's incredibly silly but kind of badass, so hang on tight, it gets pretty weird.

And here I thought they were in the city of outlaws this whole time.

Carson Davis
Nah, they were just in the rough part of town.
Now they're literally on planet Outlaw, city of Brigandia.
Apparently all these criminals are a new development though? Which is weird considering they fucking named the planet Outlaw?

Why is Wolverine being such a dick? holy shit.

OH OH OH if you REALLY want a reason to stick around, there's a race episode later on
Get hype

So metroid just turned into trigun? I can dig it.

I'm still disappointed Samus didn't have that kickass cloak on again. It would have been more fitting in this setting.

Real talk, I have a thing open in the background and it's playing that song from The Man With No Name on loop
That's not even intentional

I can't stick around in this thread, but I thank you for storytiming and I hope you can complete it without the thread dying. I gotta say, the idea of giving Samus a plucky yet capable young sidekick is surprisingly appealing. I don't know how well it would work in the games (especially with the fanbase being so strict about atmosphere and tone), but I would like to see more of this idea. Just not written by Nintendo or Team Ninja, for the love of God.
Charles Long

David Russell
Thanks.
Also I think it was the theme from the Good the Bad and the Ugly, actually.
I have a deep appreciation for anyone who can put that particular type of guitar to good use. I don't know what it's called though. It's very distinctive, though, you hear it in all the best western movie music.

We're Resident evil 5 now

End of chapter 1.
Justin Ortiz
You know, stupidly enough the thing that bugs me most is that this takes place in some other galaxy. Metroid doesn't feel like it has that kind of scale. Also the saying is something along the lines of "praying for peace in the galaxy", singular galaxy. I dunno. Moving on.
Jose Wood
Try not to have an aneurism thinking about the logistics of all this.

That comic is cringy as all hell, holy shit.

I'm pretty sure this is where they get the ice beam.

Has Samus even used the morph ball once in this comic? She didn't even need it to use bombs earlier.
James Peterson
I'm not sure. Not really?
Jose White
She used it against the gravity crush attack.
